HydroLogic Sediment Pre-Filter Poly Spun - 5 Micron - 20 x 4.5-in

Catch Sediment Before It Reaches Your Equipment - 20 x 4.5-in

Silt, rust and dirt in feed water clog downstream filters and wear on pumps and membranes. This poly spun pre-filter captures suspended solids at the first stage of your water treatment line. It is rated at 5 micron nominal filtration and is documented as reducing sediment and dirt.

This single cartridge suits a grower who needs a straightforward replacement element or wants to stock spares for a regular monthly change. Because it is sold each, you can buy only what your system needs for the next cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does this filter remove?
A: It reduces sediment and dirt, meaning suspended solids such as silt and rust. It is not listed as reducing chlorine, chloramines or dissolved solids, so pair it with other stages if you need those.

Q: How often should I replace it?
A: The documented schedule is monthly. Check your system conditions, as heavily sediment-laden water may call for earlier changes.

Q: What does 5 micron nominal mean?
A: It describes the approximate particle size the filter is designed to capture. Nominal means the rating is an approximation rather than an absolute cutoff.

Q: Is it a sediment filter or a carbon filter?
A: It is a sediment filter. Carbon filters target chlorine and similar compounds, while this cartridge targets particles.

Q: Can I clean and reuse it?
A: The manufacturer describes it as a single-use cartridge to be replaced rather than cleaned.

Q: How many come in an order?
A: One cartridge. It is sold each.
